From c6b6bf666aa84298b69724f887e3d514f0c7c301 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 22:40:43 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(security): seal the untrusted-input delimiter against customer text NimClient marks caller data as untrusted by wrapping it in ..., but json.dumps escapes quotes and backslashes and not angle brackets. Customer free text containing was emitted verbatim, so the message carried two closing tags and the boundary stopped being unambiguous. user_context reaches this block with max_length=4000 and subject_name is re-sent inside report.model_dump() on the editorial-repair round trip, so both are caller-controlled. _sealed_payload escapes < and > as their JSON \uXXXX forms. The document stays valid and every decoded value is identical, while no literal bracket survives in the transmitted prompt. Regression: tests/test_prompt_delimiter.py asserts exactly one open and one close tag under an injection payload, and two companion tests assert the sealed body still decodes to the original values, including ordinary text with 3 < 5 and 7 > 2. RED before the change (1 failed, 2 passed), GREEN after (3 passed). Refs #51. 254 passed, 100% statement and branch coverage.

Neither method has anything to do with the untrusted-input delimiter, the repository's CI gate runs `ruff check` and not `ruff format`, and thirty-six files on `main` already drift from the formatter, so the reflow was unrequested. It was also not harmless. Rewriting `_content` put this branch in conflict with `claude/separate-truncated-generation-from-success`, which edits that exact method for #49, and the two could not be merged in either order. `src/four_pillars/nim.py` now differs from `main` by fourteen added lines and one changed line: the `_sealed_payload` helper and its call site. The two branches merge cleanly. Also corrects the helper's docstring, which rendered the JSON escape as ``\\uXXXX`` instead of ``\uXXXX``.
